script to turn off services

I am trying to write a script that will turn off unneeded services, but I am not 
having any luck. I have tried the following:


service bluetooth status > /dev/null 2>&1
EXITVALUE=$?
if [ $EXITVALUE == 0 ]; then
    service bluetooth stop
    chkconfig --level 345 bluetooth off
fi


This works if bluetooth is not installed, but not if it IS installed and already 
turned off. In that case, the service command returns zero and the if block is 
executed.

Does anyone know how to modify this script so that it will run (or tell me where 
I can learn how to modify it)?

Thanks!
